One way to counter the risk is broadening the diversification of your positions. Half the time, meme-status will make you a lot of money, too.

A more-sophisticated investor than I could also hedge against undesirable long-tail events.

To me, with a long-term/value perspective, these transients are a bummer because they distract from efficient price discovery. But, with a long-term perspective, these transients are mostly irrelevant. If a quality company's price drops precipitously, it is then on sale and worth buying. If it becomes quickly inflated, I can either hold with a smile or, if it is just too insane, sell with the expectation of buying in again later. The only real risk is of a meme-driven fluctuation shorting an otherwise-okay company into bankruptcy.
If history shows anything, it is that is absolutely sucks to be on the losing side of a military conflict.

As an American, I am happy that the US develops and fields weapons, including A-10's, that help win conflicts.

War always sucks. There is always suffering and innocent lives lost. This is better solved by limiting what wars we engage in, than in feeling bad about our warfighting equipment.

The infrastructure for fast charging is expensive and the ROI isn't obvious, EVs being charged at home/work most of the time.
Scientific data does not fit on most public platforms. GitHub in particular has tight limits on file size, push size (100 MB), bandwidth, and storage ($100 / TB / month). Which isn't that surprising; git is designed for code, not data.

Even if funders gave large sums of money dedicated to data publication, if recurring billing is involved it will eventually break as attention wanes. Data archives need to be managed by an institution or purchased with a single up-front fee, otherwise they won't stick around.

There's also the aspect that, even if you as an individual take it upon yourself to publish your data without institutional support, anyone who reads your paper will most likely ignore your dataset. Which is somewhat demotivating.

The article says the old MLPs were phased out because they couldn't support the weight of the Space Launch System, but from the figures I can find, SLS isn't as heavy as the Saturn V was. (And also doesn't boost as much payload to either LEO or TLI as Saturn V did. Sigh.)
Yes, but it can't be more than a few percent of people who go through the effort to set that up right? I know it's not hard to do (I've done it), but I think most people on reddit are using either their personal email or a throwaway gmail account they use from their home IP.
I think the thing I hate the most about 3rd party chargers is how many charger per the minute rather than kilowatt. Their shitty charger can put out half the rated throughput but they still make the same money

It's ridiculously wasteful to force every carmaker to build their own charging stations. Here regulators may have to step in to force them to find a standard and a charging market.

It's a lot more complicated. Sometimes staff is set by the budget. Sometimes a business needs a certain amount of staff to function and can't get away with employing less. In a lot of cases, staff is set by the latter, and raising the minimum wage cuts into profit margins. It's potentially inflationary if product prices go up in response to higher costs, but often product prices are very demand sensitive and raising them will result in suboptimal net revenue. There is a reason a lot of studies show that increasing the minimum wage by small amounts has negligible effects on employment: there are many other factors to consider. That being said going from $7 to $15 in the US is an experiment for which there is little to no data, especially for rural effects (since only big cities seem to have tried it). I personally favor not having a minimum wage but only in a society with a UBI so you don't have people needing to make a living off what they earn in the labour market exclusively. In such a society people who's labour contributes negligible value to society can choose to do something other than work if they feel it would be a more valuable use of their time. People who earn a lot in the labour market still face a strong incentive to work. In current society the low-end employers appear to have oligopsony power which results in distorted downward pressure on wages, and many people are forced to take badly paying bad jobs in order to live.

This applies even to the internet "cesspools" really. Most of my friends were/are regular posters on reddit/4chan, and they are surprisingly normal. All of them have decent jobs that pay well, some are married. If you met them in real life, you couldn't really tell there's something wrong with them.

They seem a far cry from what internet tells you a 4chan user looks like. Funny enough, none of them (including me) are white.

I think this is an exclusionary mindset. Just because it is a tiny subset of users, it is OK to exclude them?

How about when it is quite easy in many cases to support them, by using standard conform simple HTML?

Example: How many login forms have I seen, which will not show their input fields, if I do not allow their shitty scripts to run? In fact, just today I have seen it, on a VPN login, on a thing, that is supposed to give you security, I need to allow scripts, to have a login. Otherwise there is only a background picture. Thank you very much, so helpful! And then when I allowed their scripts, guess what. A text became visible, which told me, that in general scripts need to run in order to use the page. How much fail is that? They don't know the noscript tag or something?

That's only today's anecdote. I see this kind of fail every day, except for the days, when I miraculously manage to avoid all badly designed websites. It is getting worse and worse, because web developers seem to find it normal to, by default, reach for JS, instead of thinking about how they can solve the same thing using just HTML and CSS for a second or two.

I think it is still worth pursuing simplicity in web development. For the earlier example: Rendering a login using JavaScript is not simplicity. It is unnecessary, silly, and exclusionary without need.

So my message is: If your service can be done using plain simple standard conform HTML(5), then use it. It will also almost always have less bugs and be simpler code to maintain. Information display does not require dynamic pages per se. Usually it does not and many many websites are about information display, not impossible to solve via REST dynamic pages. Nowadays properly designed static websites are faster than badly designed JS heavy websites, which render on the client-side. The bloat has become this bad already.
I started my current project using SWR and then switched to react-query after dealing with some annoyances with SWR.

Overall react-query is impressive for data fetching, but I’ve run into issues with mutations and cache invalidation.
I'm confused as to how this would be ambiguous. If an animal is born in captivity it will probably be killed for meat at some point, that's just math...

I am pretty sure they're just saying that after 6 months they aren't suckling anyway and are grassfed through being a yearling until they're adults. Few farms will talk about killing their animals, of course, keeping what is happening sterile in appearance is pretty important for keeping the amount people eat high.

I hope none of that is controversial, it can always be assumed that animals born on a farm ultimately are eaten as meat... I'm a vegetarian and I'm not thrilled about it, but that's just math =/
They aren't trying to kill GME though, they are boosting it, essentially saving it and shareholders from short seller pressure. I see it as a bizarre, but ultimately positive behavior. Wallstreet no longer holds all the keys.
I am far from the most knowledgeable HNer on this topic, but my understanding is that pension funds are more conservative than most, but that they do get involved in riskier asset classes as well. They probably allocate a portion of their assets to hedge funds or VCs because otherwise they miss out on lots of upside. Of course, there can be downside as well...
The SAMs used against the HIND in Afghanistan were Stingers that have smaller warheads. The Hind, while well armored compared to other helicopters, is much more vulnerable than the A-10. For example, an A-10 can lose an engine and still make it home. If a Hind loses a rotor, it's probably dead.

And the real issue is whether the A-10 can survive against a near peer like Russia or China. Considering that in the late 70's the life expectancy of an A-10 over the Fulda Gap was measured in single digit sorties, expecting them to survive today against modern SAMs (both radar guided and infrared) is unrealistic.

CAS in bush country like Iraq/Afghan is much better performed by fast jets that can respond quickly with a JDAM or SDB.

I often blame the Dreamcast’s lack of DVD support as its ultimate reason SEGA failed in the hardware console with an otherwise unbelievably innovative piece of hardware and incredibly strong software.

Apple literally invented a (click) wheel! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_click_wheel
I'm not sure the "gas station on every corner" model is going to transition to the EV world. First of all many people will do the bulk of their charging at home, so paying for a charge will be mostly limited to long distance road trips, etc. It's not something you necessarily need to do at all during your regular commute or running errands around town.

Second, even with a fast DC charger it still takes 20-60 minutes to get a useful amount of charge. That's a lot longer than you need to run into a convenient store to buy a coffee or whatever. It makes more sense to put these chargers where people will naturally be parked longer: office buildings, restaurants, highway service plazas, etc.

...but other couches are built to last, so repair is much less commonly needed.
I've been keeping an eye on the far-out-dated put options, and I haven't seen anything that's more compelling than simply leaving money parked in an index fund. The expectation that GME will drop back down to Earth over that timeframe remains priced in.

The main takeaway from this incident is that margin-call-constrained short selling is even more dangerous than previously understood.
Yeah, foot in the door to work in McDonalds so you can what? Be manager one day and afford to have family?
Foot in the door as cleaning lady to be hired as secretary? Maybe.

Basically min wage should be defined as basic needs for individual. I don't think that many people will chose to go for lower than that for future personal gain.

THe price of that put is $240 .
So GME has to fall to 320-240 = $80.
Also the cost of that put is twenty four thousand dollars. Not exactly chump change.
There are standards, but like all standards there are multiple to choose from and at least one major non-standard. In the US, the big ones are Tesla, CCS, and CHAdeMO, in roughly that order of popularity. Its a bit like Diesel vs E85 vs premium vs plus vs regular, except with the added mix of having one branded version.

Tesla's is largely the result of getting this stuff figured out back in 2012. Back then, standardization wasn't really an option.
Yeah, a little bit .

Show HN: Analysis of 100 Weeks of Curated AI News
You can have a short squeeze without naked shorting. Shorts who aren't naked have borrowed the stock from someone. If that person asks for it back, they have to go out and buy it in order to return it.

At least in theory, if retail investors buy up the stock, some of the institutional investors who own it, and who have lent it out, will sell it to them. This could mean that they recall lent stock. As this happens, shorts might have to compete to buy the stock. Equally, as the price gets higher, shorts might have to cut their losses, which also means buying back the stock. If the people buying it now don't sell it and don't lend it they will withdraw a lot of the supply.
This article leaves out a lot of information.

> ...none of the major incumbent automakers seems to pose much of a threat to market leader Tesla, which has become nearly synonymous with EVs.

This is only true in the US. In Europe VW and Renault have cut into Tesla's lead, and in some countries VW just overtook Tesla in vehicles sold. In 2020 the Renault Zoe outsold the Tesla Model 3 in Europe.

> But imagine if, instead of investing tens of billions of dollars in producing cars with no way to drive long distances individually, Audi, GM, Ford, and the rest each spent just a billion dollars to build a network of supercharging stations.

They have. BMW, Daimler, Ford, Hyundai, and VW collaborated to build out the IONITY network. VW is also building Electrify America (albeit as a result of Dieselgate). Non-Tesla DCFC stations far outnumber the Tesla Superchargers now.
I repasted my Acer Predator laptop with liquid metal. It went from 80c idle 95c load to 65-70c idle and 75c load.

When I first turned it on I thought I hadn't plugged the fans back in all the way because it was so quiet. Fans didn't kick on till I was in Windows and it was loading apps, even then it was way quieter. Liquid metal is a game changer for certain computers.

Citation needed. Doesn't seem to be borne out by benchmarks comparing chips with varying iGPU resources and same memory setup.

Sure, they're going to be meomry bound some of the time, and it depends on what kind of bw/compute balance the GPU code is tuned for... but we didn't stop putting more cores and wider SIMD on chips either just because then current SW didn't fully utilize them.
My argument is that the __buying power__ should be increased, by forcing the market to have more of what people need. (I.E. more housing so housing actually becomes affordable)

That would also help out the middle class, rather than trying to lift the tide without building more high-ground docks.
Derivatives provide useful abstractions over primitive financial data types. Instead of saying "give me the {id: int, name: string, birthday: date}" we can just say "give me the User" and that's helpful. But as in software, it's possible to build towers of abstraction high enough so as to lose sight of the fundamental data upon which they rest, and then differences between the abstraction and implementation open the door for bugs (i.e. financial crises).

Options are similar to a down payment, or trip cancellation insurance. It gives you the ability to buy something (or not buy it) in the future, but for that privilege you must pay something right now. Options provide leverage (using more money than you presently have), like a credit card or mortgage. Just as most people can't bring piles of cash to buy a car or house outright, options give you the ability to buy the thing but also the chance to walk away. Key caveat: there situations where options that have unlimited risk; these can easily be avoided, but that's where options get their bad reputation.

You're right that both can serve to accelerate growth, and that's a good thing for individuals, companies, and nations. But if things go wrong, crashes at high speeds are much more dangerous than those at low speeds.

If you put $X in to AAPL, you can hedge against catastrophe by putting $X/10 in to an option to sell AAPL, which will limit your losses if the stock drops to 0 tomorrow. So in theory, they can be used sensibly.

But in practice I think it's not the existence of the derivatives market, it's the size. Our economy is like a town with 1 farmer and 9 investors who spend all day wagering with each other on whether the farmer will have a good crop.
Fim works best for the types of files that don't change frequently, or shouldn't change at all. I use it for photos, digital art files, videos, music, books, records/receipts, etc. When I started, I put everything into fim, but there was too much noise to be useful.

Files that change frequently (password database) or won't totally bork out if there's a bit flip (text notes and org files) don't really need their integrity managed manually.

Consider the angle formed by the left side of the picture, the camera/viewer, and the right side of the picture. The higher the zoom (or the crop), the smaller this angle is. It's called field of view (FOV).

You've seen this in horror movies when they pull the camera back while zooming in (or out). The protagonist fills the same amount of the screen while their face distorts and the angle spanned by the background narrows (or expands). The fireplace in the background that originally was a small part of the background now spans the whole background. Or the crowd. https://filmschoolrejects.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Jaw... That's the kind of distortion under discussion.

You're right that zooming and cropping are the same, but that doesn't actually refute the point, because both affect FOV the same way, and FOV differences are the topic under discussion.

>Leaving a kid on the internet is like living them on a shaddy part of town for hours at a time. I'm old enough that I only had internet at home when I turned 18, in hindsight I feel like I dodged a bullet.

I grew up with uneducated parents who are susceptible to believing bullshit peddled by cult leaders. I lived in their business, without access to other people since we lived in a business area with no other residents.

Access to the internet was the only way I was able to interact with educated adults, and I attribute it to as the main reason for my economic and social success as an adult.

There was also lots of gore/pornography/other explicit stuff, although social media was more limited to instant messengers and photo/video content of yourself was not a thing yet. But the upside was almost limitless with the access to all the information, experts, and ability to interact with someone you can learn something from.
Is it not possible to charge a Leaf at a Tesla station? If so we have to have a drive towards standardisation fast. Or Tesla will have a monopoly.
Short sellers participate in this all the time.
That is largely a function of state rules that make it hard to charge $/KWh without falling under a different (and often onerous) set of regulations. It doesn't have to be super expensive this way, though. Both Tesla and Electrify America offer decent per minute rates here.

EVGo here is over twice as expensive and tends to underperform on charge rate, depending on the state of charge. Or at least I hope it improves at higher charge levels... I think it is amperage limited like CHAdeMO.
The difference is that the criminal justice system is supposed to address every single case. Any individual case of a public prosecutor refusing to prosecute a murderer (because they're also employed as a cop) is an injustice at the scale of the entire jurisdiction. Statistics on the race of the victims aren't actually necessary to get outraged. So your argument, at best, applies to the political framing of the subject rather than the core issue.
I mean, the parent comment is explicitly comparing the experiences. When the comparison is between that and literally just plugging in and immediately starting to charge, that is a pretty big deal.

It’s not just one time, it’s every time you do a larger road trip. That’s very much a case of death by a thousand cuts.

I don't know anything about this field and I certainly don't know any people involved, but this comment made me curious and after a few google searches I think I can tell who it is too.

Which leads me into some thoughts about not rushing to judgement. I believe the commenter above is doing his best to be a reliable narrator, but it's always possible there was more to this story that was not visible to him at the time, that might exculpate a bit. It's also notable that people change over time, can improve on their faults, and might have learned something in the years since. Best not to view their past mistakes as forever damaging.
